Chapter 12: Enhancement (Part Two)

A thought arose.

The next moment, a stream of data flashed across Kouga's pupils, freezing in an instant!

When the information stabilized, he began reviewing it from top to bottom, ranked by rating.

*[Perfect-level Hashirama Cell Injection]:*

This serum enhances basic attributes comprehensively, increasing the number of cells in the body by more than five times the original amount.

It significantly boosts cell activity, muscle strength, neural reflexes, and immunity.

*Note 1:* Upon successful fusion, the user will gain immunity to common poisons, acquire rapid regeneration abilities, and awaken the Wood Release kekkei genkai.

*Note 2:* It can deeply integrate with Uchiha lineage, potentially resulting in a beneficial mutation. The success rate and effect depend on the level of Sharingan development.

*Cost for this enhancement:*

1 B-level side story and 4000 reward points.

A tanky enhancement?

And it even comes with Wood Release.

To be more precise, it helps awaken water chakra nature in addition to the existing fire, lightning, and earth chakras—Wood Release being a combination of earth and water chakra natures.

As for the effect?

As long as there's sufficient chakra, creating a vast forest with a snap of your fingers is no problem. Every tree’s offensive and defensive capabilities are under the caster’s control, aiding in future Wood Release jutsu.

But the part that perfectly fits Kouga is the final line: beneficial mutation.

Rinnegan, perhaps?

After Uchiha Madara fused Hashirama's cells, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan indeed evolved into the Rinnegan.

Of course, there are counterexamples.

Take Shimura Danzō, for instance.

If the later stages of the Naruto world can be described as dominated by bloodlines and destiny, the Shimura clan, to which Danzō belongs, hardly even ranks.

Only the Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, Uzumaki, and Kaguya clans are the closest to the origin of ninja bloodlines, possessing a unique lineage that other ninja clans can’t compete with.

Therefore, even though Danzō had plenty of Hashirama cells and Sharingan, without a clan legacy, it was useless!

But... the concern lies in how developed my Sharingan is.

With just a mere three tomoe, I’m still at least two ranks away from the Rinnegan, unless my luck is extraordinary. Otherwise, triggering the so-called probability is difficult.

“Probability, huh? It ultimately comes down to strength.”

—“Main system, list my six-dimensional stats.”

Kouga refocused his thoughts and began examining his base stats.

Although six-dimensional stats in the later stages of the Infinite World become meaningless—swelling to the point where a reincarnator wouldn't dare call themselves one without at least ten thousand—the stats do serve a purpose in the early stages, especially during initial entry, offering a clear view of one’s strength:

- *Intelligence:* E

- *Mental Strength:* C+

- *Neural Reflexes:* C+

- *Muscle Strength:* D

- *Cell Activity:* C+

- *Immunity:* D

Alright, Kouga retracted his earlier assumption—the main system hasn’t adopted an easily broken numerical system.

Still, no surprises there. The Uchiha clan, despite their immense power, maintain an intelligence level well within normal human bounds: E.

Luckily, his mental strength was quite remarkable.

Even though he hadn’t taken the traditional genjutsu ninja path, his potential was still evident.

Also, his muscle strength was lacking.

It’s important to note that in the real world, the total number of cells in an average human is between 40 and 60 trillion, while in the Naruto world... it’s about 130 trillion, a two- to threefold difference.

Those with kekkei genkai have even more.

Senju Hashirama's Sage Body is particularly exaggerated.

Yet despite this, Kouga’s taijutsu-related stats were only one level above that of a normal human, even though that “level” represented a gap as vast as heaven and earth!

Perhaps this was why the system’s enhancement options were overwhelmingly focused on physical abilities, listed densely, some of which Kouga had heard of, and others entirely new to him.

Thus, Kouga carefully and slowly reviewed every option that piqued his interest.

Additionally, the bloodline enhancements provided by the system were all improved versions, removing any overly broken innate weaknesses, such as the vampire bloodline’s fear of sunlight or the Kaguya clan’s susceptibility to kekkei disease.

Most importantly, even after redeeming certain non-human enhancements, using them at full power wouldn’t cause one to lose their basic human form.

And in the Reincarnation World, maintaining a human form seemed to be a form of implicit political correctness—even if this wasn’t the original version of the main system, it still required reincarnators to maintain a human shape and heart.

“Should I splurge and get the perfect-level Hashirama cells? After all, bloodlines can’t be mixed carelessly. Uchiha and Senju share the same origin, making them highly compatible, and the potential can be stored.”

“Ugh, even in the original story, that cheat character, Zheng the Gorilla, constantly combined Western and Eastern systems—vampire bloodlines with internal energy—and still self-destructed regularly.

As a transmigrator without a clear background, I’d better play it safe and follow a proven path.”

Kouga muttered to himself, shifting his gaze away from a D-level enhancement and returning to the Hashirama cells.

Even the Uzumaki constitution and Shikotsumyaku couldn’t compare to the simplified Sage Body.

—“Main system, redeem one dose of perfect Hashirama cell injection, and some high-quality nutrient fluid.”

—“Oh, and also an intelligent tank with an auto-cleaning feature.”

Immediately, a futuristic tank appeared, filled with potent nutrient fluid. This ensured that during the bloodline fusion, Kouga’s body wouldn’t suffer from hunger or a lack of nutrients, allowing for the best enhancement results.

Of course, this cost points.

It consumed a total of 500 reward points.

“Since I’ve already bitten the bullet and spent points on B-level enhancements to complete my bloodline, there’s no point in being stingy now.”

“Main system, if anything goes wrong during the process, like my body breaking down, don’t hesitate to deduct reward points—take as much as needed! And if the nutrient fluid runs low, refill it automatically.”

With these words, Kouga decisively undressed, lying in the tank as if soaking in a bath.

Hmm... the sensation was far more pleasant than a bath.

The surroundings were filled with energy, surpassing chakra in quality while being harmless to the body.

After enjoying it for a moment, he injected himself with the Hashirama cell serum, initiating his first post-return enhancement.

Almost instantly, the nutrient fluid began to boil!

However, the system’s healing glow never appeared—after all, you get what you pay for, and perfect-grade products were no cheap knockoffs.

As time passed and after redeeming and using the third tank of nutrient fluid, Kouga gradually regained consciousness.

To be honest, the process was far milder than expected—not like the usual cultivation trope of veins bulging, skin covered in web-like cracks, bones poking out alongside foul-smelling dark substances expelled by blood.

In fact, what Kouga clearly felt was his chakra being reconstructed. As it flowed like water, a new force known as Yang Release grew inside him, more pure than the Uchiha's power.

No wonder it was from Hashirama Senju!

The reincarnation of Asura.

To match that, only Uchiha Madara, the reincarnation of Indra, could stand on the same level with his ocular powers!
